DCS feature can be managed and monitored by MIB objects too. All the configuration parameters are present for both
Interface A and Interface B separately. The oriWirelessIfDCSThreshold object stores the DCS Threshold from 1 to 10.

Dynamic Frequency Selection/Radar Detection (DFS/RD)
In order to prevent interference with radar systems and other devices that occupy the 5 GHz band, 802.11a APs certified
in the ETSI, TELEC, FCC, and IC regulatory domains (see
frequency bands select an operating channel through a combination of Auto Channel Select (ACS) and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS)/Radar Detection (RD).
During boot-up, ACS scans the available channels and selects the best channel. Once a channel is selected, the AP
performs a channel availability check for 60 seconds to ensure that the channel is not busy or occupied by radar, and
then commences normal operation. (In Canada, if the channel was previously blacklisted, the AP scans for 600 seconds
before commencing normal operation if the selected channel frequency is in the 5600 - 5650 MHz range). When the AP
enters normal operation, DFS works in the background to detect interference in that channel. If interference is detected,
the AP sends a trap, disassociates all clients, blacklists the channel, and reboots. After it reboots, ACS re-scans and
selects a better channel that is not busy and is free of radar interference.
If ACS is disabled, only channels in the lower, upper, and ISM frequency bands are available for use:
• 36: 5.180 GHz (default)
• 40: 5.200 GHz
• 44: 5.220 GHz
• 48: 5.240 GHz
• 149: 5.745 GHz
• 153: 5.765 GHz
• 157: 5.785 GHz
• 161: 5.805 GHz
• 165: 5.825 GHz
If you are using the unit in a country and band that require DFS, keep in mind the following:
• DFS is not a configurable parameter; it is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
